Name That Poo (Unsavoury Content)

I have two dogs, one of them has always been a bit scatty in the back garden (racing around sniffing the ground and getting into a lather) so I have always assumed that animals must wander around the garden at night.

I usually leave a pair of shoes outside the back door to go down to the outbuildings. The other night a pair of the kids football boots were also left out. In the morning all four pieces of footwear were strewn around the garden. I grabbed the football boots but left my shoes on the lawn. I forgot about them the next night and then grabbed them the following morning only to find that something had crapped in them (not a dog turd).

Last night I put one of the dog baskets outside of the back door as it needed washing. Guess what - this morning I noticed that something had crapped in the basket (see exhibit A below).

My question: Is there anyone in the house who can identify this excrement vandal? Is it fox poo, badger???

I have to admit that I did have a sniff, I somehow could not stop myself. I would describe it as 'bloody awful'. I have had dogs for 20 years and kids for 12 years and have had many heavy nights out but the smell was disgusting. I cannot be anymore descriptive than that.

Someone pooed in your shoes, boy did you piss someone off!!

I was genuinely p'eed off when I found the dump in my shoes. I have had them for years and I was quite attached to them. The phantom crapper new how to get at me! Not only does it make one of my dogs go barmy it also drops its load into my old faithfuls.
